Maywood woman sent to hospital after being attacked with scissors

A Maywood woman was taken to the hospital after she was attacked with a pair of scissors.

On April 5 around 1:30 p.m., Maywood Police received numerous calls with reports of an assault.

The victim was traveling in a vehicle on Passaic Street with her three children and the children’s father, when a dispute broke out. Her partner assaulted her with a pair of scissors while the three children were present.

"She pulled off to the side of the road and got out of the car and he started chasing her from Passaic Street down West Pleasant Avenue, the next block over. Officers confronted him there at Community Bank where he was arrested," said Maywood Chief of Police David Pegg.

The man was transported to police headquarters, and the woman was treated by EMTs and paramedics from Hackensack before she was transported to Hackensack University Medical Center.

The man was charged with one count of attempted murder, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and one count of resisting arrest.

Pegg said the name of the man could not be released as it is a case of domestic violence. He did say that the man is from Hackensack, and the victim is from Maywood.
